Copper alloy artefact found in a hoard from Wickhambrook, Suffolk (IARCH-2558F2). Possibly a furniture fitting or decorative mount in the form of a bird. Robertson 2000, 251 no. 1045: ""The enclosed Roman fibula and coins were ploughed up in a field called 'Four Acre Honeycoomb' belonging to the Lodge Farm, in the parish of Wickham Brooke, about a mile from the fortifications at Lidgate in Suffolk. ...Likewise at the same time was found a cast in brass which I presume was intended to represent an eagle, or a hawk; whether an ornament, or a culinary vessel, is uncertain." -Gent.…

Gilt plate brooch set with an amethyst found in a hoard from Wickhambrook, Suffolk (IARCH-2558F2 ). Robertson 2000, 251 no. 1045: "[...]"Having never before seen a drawing of an oval Roman fibula, I thought this would be acceptable. The stone in the centre is in imitation of an amethyst, if not real, and raised near to a point. The gold plating which surrounds it is very perfect, and appears to have been laid on very thick, and but little defaced by time."[...] -Gent. Mag., 1788, I, 702, pl.

Ceramic jar, a container for late Roman hoard IARCH-A94B2E. Described (in Robertson 2000, 392-393 no. 1588 quoting Prigg) as "fragments of a small vase of Durobrivian pottery...Of the vessel that contained them, the only portions recovered were the base, with its narrow foot and half the neck, representing a jar of about half a pint in capacity. It had evidently been broken some time previous to its final discovery; and fragments of it had, no doubt, been carried away in former ploughings, without materially disturbing the contents". Probably Nene valley pottery.
